No reviews

These gluten-free banana waffles are a delicious and healthy breakfast option made with wholesome ingredients like rolled oats, ripe bananas, and almond milk. Lightly sweetened and perfectly crisp, they are easy to prepare using a blender and waffle iron, resulting in satisfying waffles with a hint of cinnamon and naturally gluten-free goodness.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Waffle Batter

  • 2 large eggs, lightly whisked
  • 1¼ cups gluten-free rolled oats or oat flour (115 grams)
  • 1 small–medium ripe banana, mashed (115 grams; about ½ cup)
  • 2 tablespoons refined avocado oil or refined coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk (about ¼ to ⅓ cup)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

For Cooking

  • Butter or higher smoke point oil (such as avocado oil) for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Add the oats (or oat flour), eggs, banana, oil, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon (if using), and almond milk to a high-speed blender. Blend until mostly smooth, leaving a bit of oat texture.
  2. Rest the Batter: Let the batter rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the oats to fully hydrate, which helps improve the waffle texture.
  3. Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat your waffle iron and generously grease it with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Cook Waffles: Pour the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook each waffle about 3–5 minutes until golden and the iron stops steaming.
  5. Extra Crispy Edges: For crispier edges, leave the waffle in the iron an additional 20–30 seconds before removing.
  6. Repeat: Transfer the cooked waffle to a plate and repeat the process with the remaining batter until all waffles are cooked.
  7. Serve or Store: Serve the waffles immediately for best taste, or allow them to cool completely and freeze for later use.

Notes

  • Using rolled oats or oat flour is interchangeable; oat flour will give a smoother batter.
  • Resting the batter helps the oats absorb moisture, making waffles tender yet crispy.
  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk.
  • If you prefer, add vanilla extract or nutmeg for more flavor.
  • For crispier waffles, use refined oils with a high smoke point for cooking.
  • Freezing cooked waffles is a great time saver; reheat in a toaster or oven for best texture.
